Unisoft is adding an 18w button to the bottom row of buttons in the GI Reporting Tool’s procedure screens.  It will allow the endoscopist to say whether the 18 week clock has stopped or not.

This button can be made obligatory so that an endoscopist has to enter the 18 week data before an endoscopy report can be printed.  Then a print-out can be produced at any time.  It will list all of the patients whose clock status has been recorded since the print-out was last produced.

Each hospital will be implementing the 18 week pathway in subtly different ways, and many may already have systems for recording the clock status without having to involve Unisoft. 

It may be possible to interface the GI Reporting Tool to the PAS so that this information can be fed in directly.  If you would like to discuss this further then pease call Unisoft on 0208 367 2103 and ask for Steve Rainey.
